PE Gateway: Helpful tips

The PE Gateway is free and available to providers and suppliers who are serviced by First Coast. The gateway is designed to increase efficiency by entering a paper application into our processing system, avoiding processing times with the U.S. Postal Service. 

We strive to screen, validate, and process our applications within the CMS-designated timeframes. (PECOS web applications have shorter designated processing timeframes than paper applications.)

How to: 

Check the status of a gateway application that has already been submitted

  • You may log into the gateway using your NPI and submission ID and select Check Status.

    Note: Multiple email addresses are allowed.

    The email address provided to the gateway is simply to provide you with the one-time access code to enter the gateway. The email address is not tied to your NPI, submission ID, or DCN.

Submit multiple applications for different providers or suppliers

  • You may submit multiple applications for different providers or suppliers by obtaining access to the gateway multiple times, using a different NPI each time. 
  • You will receive multiple submission IDs -- one for each NPI.

Determine when revalidation is due

  • Navigate to the Medicare Revalidation List and enter your organization name, first name, last name or NPI. Your information will be displayed by name, due date, state, specialty, and NPI.
  •  You may have also received a letter requesting you to revalidate up to three months prior to your revalidation due date. The DCN assigned to you to revalidate will be referenced on that letter and required to upload your revalidation application.
  • If you do not have a copy of the revalidation request letter but your revalidation is due, you may reach out to Provider Enrollment to request the DCN.

Identify which CMS form to use
